1. Stake in PancakeSwap MasterChef v1

   $45 · 1 position

   You staked LP or CAKE in the first PancakeSwap farm contract and left it there. The contract still lets you withdraw.

   1. Open MasterChef v1 (0x73feaa1eE314F8c655E354234017bE2193C9E24E) on BscScan and use Write Contract.
   2. Connect the staking wallet and call withdraw(pid, amount) or emergencyWithdraw(pid). For pool 0 (CAKE), use leaveStaking(amount).
   3. Then remove liquidity from the LP token if you want the two coins.

2. Balancer v1 or CoW AMM pool share

   $27 · 1 position

   You hold tokens of an old Balancer v1 pool or a Balancer CoW AMM pool. There is no Balancer app for v1, but you can leave the pool through the contract.

   1. Open the pool address (pool column) on the block explorer, Write Contract tab.
   2. Call exitPool(poolAmountIn, minAmountsOut) with your pool token amount. Use zeros for the minimums only if you accept any price.
   3. If your tokens are staked elsewhere, withdraw them there first. Balancer also publishes an open-source exit tool: github.com/balancer/exit-ui (no hosted copy was online on 2026-10-01).

3. zkSync Lite balance not claimed

   $15 · 2 positions

   zkSync Lite was shut down on 2026-05-04. Remaining balances are claimable on Ethereum through a claim contract and a withdrawal portal. Your account is on that list and has not claimed.

   1. Open the zkSync Lite withdrawal portal and connect the wallet that owned the account.
   2. The portal finds your address in the final state, builds the proof and sends the claim. Follow its prompts.
   3. Confirm the Ethereum transaction. Tokens go to your L1 address. Matter Labs sponsors gas for the first 100,000 withdrawals.

4. Old Maker SCD vault collateral

   $14 · 1 positionMay not work

   You own an old single-collateral Dai vault (CDP) that still has collateral (PETH) left after the system was shut down.

   1. Open the Tub contract 0x448a5065aeBB8E423F0896E6c5D525C040f59af3 on Etherscan, Write tab.
   2. If the vault still has debt, anyone can call bite(cupId) first. Then the vault owner calls free(cup, ink) to get PETH.
   3. Call exit(wad) to swap PETH for WETH. If a DSProxy owns the vault, send these calls through the proxy.

5. Funds in old Ethereum contracts (2015-2021)

   $13 · 1 position

   You have a balance in an old Ethereum contract (The DAO, EtherDelta, IDEX, the 2017 ENS registrar, DigixDAO and others). Each contract has its own withdraw call. Use the wallet that owns the position.

   1. The DAO: on the DAO token 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413 call approve(0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754, yourBalance). Then call withdraw() on the WithdrawDAO contract 0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754. It pays 1 ETH per 100 DAO.
   2. EtherDelta 0x8d12a197cb00d4747a1fe03395095ce2a5cc6819: from the wallet that deposited, call withdraw(amount) for ETH or withdrawToken(token, amount) for a token. Amounts are in the token's smallest unit.
   3. IDEX v1 0x2a0c0dbecc7e4d658f48e01e3fa353f44050c208: call withdraw(token, amount). Use token 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 for ETH. It reverts if your last IDEX activity was fewer than 240 blocks ago.
   4. 2017 ENS registrar 0x6090a6e47849629b7245dfa1ca21d94cd15878ef: call releaseDeed(labelhash) for the name. The labelhash is keccak256 of the name without .eth. The deposit goes back to the deed owner.
   5. Other contracts (DigixDAO, Neufund and more): use the contract's own withdraw or refund function on Etherscan from the owner wallet. Check the contract's code first.

6. Unclaimed Arbitrum withdrawal

   Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova

   $1 · 1 position

   You withdrew ETH or tokens from Arbitrum to Ethereum but never did the final claim on Ethereum. The challenge period (about 6.4 days) is long over, so the funds can be claimed now.

   1. Open the Arbitrum bridge and connect the receiving wallet.
   2. Open Transactions and find the withdrawal marked Claim, or paste the withdrawal transaction hash.
   3. Press Claim and confirm. You pay the Ethereum gas fee. The funds go to the recipient.
